I hope someone can help me out here. I've e-mailed Loblaws re: their No Name products, but haven't heard back yet.

I've never really thought about my allergies when it's come to canned and frozen veges, but now it's got me wondering: what else do they process on their lines? Do I have to worry about a stray pea getting mixed in with the corn or green beans? And then I found out that most of the NN stuff is actually processed overseas. My allergist has warned me not to consume ANYTHING that comes from overseas because they don't have the strict product management nor the labelling requirements we have here in North America.

The same with Unico. I always buy their red kidney beans for chili and white beans (dried) for homemade brown beans.

I have had the exact concerns regarding frozen veggies. Our son will eat corn like crazy, then I'll open a new bag and he spit it out every time I try to feed him. Sometimes if I open a new bag of that same veggie he will then eat it again. He's too young to tell me but I often wonder if peas etc. were processed on the same line and different batches have more detectable trace?????? In a way I see this as 'fair enough' as green peas etc. aren't top allergens, I just can't wait for the little man to talk so I know what is going on sometimes.

As an infant his allergies were discovered I never fed him ANY bought baby food. I called Heinz and they did say that as lentils/green peas are in so many of their varieties the chance of trace would be very high. They clean very thouroughly but as peas and lentils are not top allergens the same requirements aren't in place (understandibly). Heinz did inform me that the fruit was processed at a different plant so it would have no veggie/meat contamination.

I have started using the 1-800 number and they've been fabulous. Everything's been good with the peanuts, but they don't have info on peas since it's not a top 10. So I guess I won't be eating any of their canned/frozen veges.
